Haha, fresh battery just put in :thumbsup: Stock airbox has been put back on (as the pod didnt seem to do anything). Also just put in some White Led parkers, look the goods :banana:

Manual conversions arnt too expensive :whistling: One was on ebay recently for 500, full kit, box, pedals the works. If I had the money I would have bought it but since I am currently going to Uni I no longer have money to put into this car.

mate the reason this hasnt sold yet is because

1. its AUTO

2. NON turbo

3. 4 door

3 reasons most beople DO NOT buy and import, you have a rare few who want that but mate you may aswell keep yor car because the only people who will pay 7k for a 4 door non turbo auto are brain dead mules

these sell for 3-4 k now

your never going to get 7k for it, just keep it and in 2 years turbo it chuck a 5 speed in it, and you'll love it then

btw i couldnt sell my 2 door turbo with 12k in parts in it for 8k,a

Ive had offers of 5500, the fact its N/a opens it up for p-platers who dont want a little buzz box but dont want a falcodoor.

4 door just means less hastle of getting people in and out of it (as a teenager your gana have alot of people getting in and out).

The auto is the main issue everyone seems to have with it. If i had the money and time id convert it to a 5 speed but i am strapped for funds and time going to uni.

Also these days alot of teenagers dont seem to get there manual license as most parents seem to be going for new cars that are auto as a family daily. So really its a good car for the market, or as you put it rare few, that it will appeal to.

I guess its each to there own as to what people think its worth, im just putting on what id be happy to let it go for and think its worth. There isnt too many P-plate legal 32's around and I am always getting complements on it.

It is a nice example you are correct!

However it's been for sale for six months?

I assure you if it was worth it it would have sold, it just looks like the price of skylines has dropped again with 33GTR's selling for under 20k now

I ended up keeping my 32, it just wasn't worth giving away to me. And you are most def right about the manual bit, just change it bro

300 for a box, couple hundred for ecu and manual bits, some elbow grease and it will sell

    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
    • The stock manifold is "mostly" divided. The divider actually has a notch cut out of it where it would meet the divider on a twin scroll housing. I have no idea why. But whatever the reason, it would cause some cross talk when used with a twin scroll housing. People do put twin scroll housings onto that manifold. But I'm of the opinion that proper twin scroll internal gating is...not really possible at this scale. You'd be throwing good effort (ie $$) after bad, when you really should be doing something else. Notwithstanding that.... I am not sure what the idea that you are floating has to do with the difference in comp cover position caused by the highflow using a shorter length core than the stock Hitachi one. Can you clarify what you meant?
